Hello.
I got a set of 100+ dollar Edelbrock signiture valve covers and they dont have any holes for the PVC or oil fill in them.
Id like to put a PVC hole in the passenger side one twords the back to vent the crankcase and use to put oil in when it needs it.
One thing I hate on a car is to see oil and crap comming outta the area of a PVC vent.
Is there a better way besides cutting a small hole, putting a rubber gromet in and pushing some gawdy thing into it and running a hose to the carb?
I dont mind it if it dont leak and looks decent. But whats my choices? Hg

you can drill a hole in a flat spot with a unibit to either the size of a 1/2" or 3/4" electrical knock out with a greenlee knock out set. that is what i did. one of those sizes, might even be for a 1" (nominal size only, hole is actually bigger) hole, but the grommet fits perfectly and the cutters go thru the aluminum like butter.

Some engines have oil fill tubes, but I know you're here alot and smart enough to know to use that to fill the crankcase with oil so you won't need to punch a hole in your valve covers... I know AMC used them in their 360s, (and knowing that AMCs use the same basic architecture for the 304-360-390-401) the others likely did too.

But I dunno what you have in it now; I've heard you swapped a Chevrolet in it instead of the hemi or were thinking about it a couple months ago.
